That's odd, The bluejays broadcast is in as near as real time as makes no difference. Last time I went we sat behind home plate and we could hear our friendly beer seller in the park and over the radio at maybe a half a second difference max. Of course, that's with a radio. I don't think I'd like trying to stream gameday audio at the ball park.
